Dawn of Android medical training simulators
A series of medical training simulators called Sim One aims to train doctors and aides in health services from first aid to fractures. Dr Stephen Abrahamson of the University of California School of Medicine predicts a fully functional “whole unconscious form” in seven years with future generations able to bleed sweat and simulate ages and sexes.
